About the Wanderer
The Wanderer™ is a
light-weight, 2.4 GHz,
digital cordless handset
for use with your digital
key telephone.
Take the Wanderer to a
nearby office, a meeting, a
conference room, or to
check inventory … you
are still available through
your extension!
Cordless Capabilities … and … Digital Quality
For maximum clarity and range, the Wanderer’s Digital
Spread Spectrum Technology spreads the signal over one of 40
independent frequency ranges.
A pre-assigned digital code is shared by the charging base
and handset to prevent other radiated frequencies from
interfering with system sound quality.
Signal strength is constantly monitored and the system
automatically selects one of three power levels to gain
maximum range and optimal battery life.
A digital coding security system is used to prevent
unauthorized use of your telephone by other nearby cordless
telephone users.
